Thank you. I should have added that five weeks ago upon discharge from the hospital with Eliquis and Spirilactone added to my regular meds, I began itching and drowsiness both of which bothered me while I was awake. They wanted to try and treat the rash first, though the itching occurs in other places. After 7 days of treatment it is a 2” square instead of 4”, mid back, right above my waist. Because Claritin makes me drowsy as well, they have waited until that 7 day cycle is over. Now they are going to stop the Eliquis for a week to see if it helps either the drowsiness or rash. If not, they will stop the spirolactone for a week to see if that helps. That’s where I am now. Any further thoughts with this added info? I live in Reno, visiting San XXXXXXX Have an appointment set a week from today with Dermatology in Reno. Thanks! XXXX
